“I’ve learned a lot already and really excited about all the presentations that we’ve seen so far. One thing that I know I’m going to be bringing back is from the first presentation with Tesla […] that’s such a smart framework and we’re definitely going to bring that back.”
- Edwin Goutier, Senior Director, Innovation, United Way“It’s my third time at Open Nation and each time I come back with a lot of inspiration and motivation to do a little bit different in our community, so I learned a lot about outreach, which is one of our key challenges definitely. And about how to bring leadership more engaged in our community.”
- Henriette Hultmann, Specialist & Site Manager, Vestas Wind Systems“I’m learning how really innovative companies are using the platform to drive projects within their various cones of influence, but I’m also getting lots of great ideas on how we can market the service in our own community to get even better student engagement, better engagement with our staff and faculty as well.”
- Charles Leonhardt, Senior Director for Online Initiatives & Innovation, Georgetown“And there’s very good information, very good feedback from other people that I’ve spoken to about how we can take something tweak it. I’ve already learned a couple tricks or things that we want to take back. We’re taking notes like crazy. We’re pretty excited to be here. I’ve been to a lot of software conferences. This is a really good one. It is! It is.”
- David Brockmyre, Amway“Here at Open Nation, I’ve met so many cool people and I’m plagiarizing so many great ideas from them on the kinds of campaigns they’re running to the kind of outreach they’re doing to their user base and it’s been great!”
